Regardless, E-ink is not necessary when LCD will suffice for a far smaller investment.
Mark my words -- other devices will prevail and the Kindle will be remembered as merely an overpriced, overhyped flash-in-the-pan. Unless they can miraculously make it cost about 1/5 the current price, that is. |
That's what people said about LCDs for a very long time vis a vis CRTs.
The advantage of e-ink is that it mimics the reading quality of paper exactly. Some people will pay for that.
I first read about e-ink in New Scientist back in 2000. It's been under development for a long time. |
